Passive Resistance to RFID Pilots?
Here's an article warning RFID Pilot program managers to be alert for insider 'sabotage.' The topic came up at the recent Smart Labels USA event and this summarizes how and why this happens:
Sabotage of RFID deployments and tests occurs when employees think RFID has been implemented to spy on them -- or they simply are afraid of change, or resistant to having to learn new processes. So "sabotage" can mean passive resistance or active steps to make sure an implementation or trial fails.
The piece then goes on to list three things people most commonly do to undo a pilot or make it appear as though the project failed. I'm assuming these don't fall into the 'passive' category, but what do you think?
dunking tags in water;
running over them with trucks;
zapping RFID systems with magnetic or electrical charges
Nice, huh?
